Archbishop Augustine Canterbury

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Mary Evans Picture Library transports us back in time to a pivotal moment in British history - the appointment of Augustine as the first Archbishop of Canterbury. Sent from Rome in 597 AD, Augustine played a crucial role in establishing Christianity in Britain and solidifying the influence of the Roman Catholic Church. The image captures Augustine standing proudly, adorned in traditional religious attire, as he assumes his position as the head of the church in Canterbury. The archaic architecture and solemn expressions on the faces of those surrounding him serve as a poignant reminder of the weighty responsibilities that came with this prestigious title. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we are reminded of the enduring legacy left by Augustine and his successors who have shaped the course of religious and cultural development in Britain for centuries to come. This photograph serves as a tangible link to our past, allowing us to connect with events that laid the foundation for modern-day society. Mary Evans Prints Online has preserved this invaluable piece of history for future generations to appreciate and learn from. It is through images like these that we can gain insight into our collective heritage and better understand how far we have come as a nation.
